How to bypass YouTube's firewall blocking my Supabase IP

webdev: reddit for web developers

I’m building a browser-side video clipper (using ffmpeg.wasm) and running into a wall. The goal is to let users paste a YouTube link, fetch the video, and process it locally to keep everything private and free. However, YouTube is actively detecting and blocking my Supabase server’s IP addresses during the fetch request. I’m currently trying to handle the ingestion via my backend, but since I’m targeting a "local-first" architecture to avoid high server costs, this is becoming a major bottleneck
